I’M NOT A FEMINIST, BUT IF I WERE, I

I don’t subscribe to feminism. However, if I were a feminist, here’s an example of what I would have to do:<br><br>First, I would review the 28 women’s rights that were promised to me. I would go over the list and determine which of those rights I have found useful in my life.<br><br>Next, I would ask my spouse to do the same — to review the 1 right he was promised, and tell me about how valuable he found it.<br><br>Then we’d have an open and honest discussion about how we both view the utility of these rights — both of us. I’d ask him to listen actively to what I have to say about my rights, and I’d do the same for him.<br><br>Finally, I would make a decision that considers how valuable these rights are to my spouse and I, and discuss how they impact both of our lives, and how they may impact the lives of any future humans we decide to bring into this world.<br><br>And that’s what I would do if I were a feminist.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit:<br><br>I love all the angry men that think this is a real post from /c/womenslib. If you think that, you didn’t read it very carefully!<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit 2:<br><br>I love all the angry men that think this is a real post from /c/womenslib.

It’s a sad state of affairs when women are asking for basic treatment as people. You all rock. Don’t let anyone (especially your spouse!) make you think otherwise.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit 4:<br><br>The response to this has been overwhelming — almost 1k responses in 10 hours.
